Great stuff. I was originally planning to take this train back in April when I was Interrailing, but I just couldn't pass on all the spectacular Alpine scenery you miss when you travel overnight. So I took several daytime options instead (and saved about 300 euros 🤣). This makes me want to go back to Slovenia. Cheers
Great video! Reconstruction of the whole section between Slovenia/Croatia border and Zagreb is now fully completed, so there will be no more delays at least regarding Croatian side :) Operating speed on this part of the route is now 120 km/h (before reconstruction it was 60 km/h).
Slovenia and Croatia are both in the Schengen Area and EU while Switzerland is, despite not being in the EU, still in the Schengen Area. Europe has one of the densest rail networks in the world, at least on the mainland and in England.
The houses you saw along Lake Zürich are actually on the "cheaper" side of the lake, as it is more shadowy. The other, sunny side of the lake is known as "Good Coast" for a reason.
Nice video! We went by car from Dubrovnik all the way to Lake Bled, with a side trip to Mostar in Bosnia two years ago. Would definitely like to take this sleeper train.
I, too, love Switzerland. When I was working there a couple of decades ago, even small houses were so expensive that 99-year mortgages were available, with the debt automatically passed on to children and grandchildren. Yikes! Thanks, grandpa.
Nice video... I had plan to travel from Zagreb to Zurich last year by night train, but it was sold almost month in advance...Alternative was from Zagreb to Vienna in the morning and then night train from Vienna to Zurich

Very informative, thank you. What would make this even better would be a description of the bunk. I’m 6’4” and I suspect the length of the bunk wouldn’t accommodate me stretched out.
9:13-And people complain about Amtrak's food options? At least on Amtrak (and VIA Rail here in Canada) people do get food, even if it isn't always five-star cuisine.
'...crossing all of Liechtenstein...' That sounds grander than it ought to. 😃 Whilst not wanting to speculate on your disposable income, such houses cost a couple of million. I looked it up, it's not like I'm interested in purchasing one. 🙂 Think about CHF2.5m and upwards. I saw one for CHF7m or so, but no doubt that would be a very nice property indeed. What's interesting, though, is that just today the Nobel Prize for Economics was awarded. And the scientists that won it did research on differences in wealth and prosperity between countries. It turns out that, for a country to be wealthy, you need political stability. Few countries come to mind that are as politically stable as Switzerland. Just one final comment. An hour's delay is a lot, but the very intimate hug that we witness as you alight the train, reminds us that there are more important things in life. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience!
Can I ask about security? You said the room can only be locked from the inside, so what did you do when you left the room? Did you take your valuables with you or just risk leaving the door unlocked? I’ve heard so many stories of theft on night trains, so was just wondering if you felt safe on this journey? Great video btw, as always.
I hate these automatically translated video titles… I have RUclips set to a language I‘m learning. So many times I read the title, think „nice, I can improve my listening skills with this“, to then be disappointed that the video is in English or German (or whatever language it is in). But it still was a great video!
Lovely trip - but I have to say I would rather do the wjole thing daylight - missing out on all of the Swiss and Austrian scenery seems secriligious to me!
I personally prefer the night train to leave later in the evening/night and arrive later in the morning, which this train does.14:50 In Czech Republic, almost all people go to the sea in Croatia and it has become such a stereotype that as a person who hates stereotypes, I don't like Croatia at all, especially beaches with stones. I think Italy is better than Croatia at all.
@@NonstopEurotrip nice, though you won't be able to get there by train, there are no international routes, though because of floods that have been going on there, trains towards Mostar and Ploče harbour have been canceled as area which was flooded, land under the tracks is lowered a lot so it's like the track is floating
Nice trip. Dont think I'll ever persuade my wife to take an ordinary sleeper. One of those new fancy Italian ones maybe... Our holiday next year is likely to be to Trieste then on to Llubjana (including a trip to Lake Bled) then to Zagreb. Love Croatia - Balkan food is fabulous..
@@NonstopEurotrip A couple of reasons. One, she thinks she'd never be able to sleep on a train (the posh sleeper would have the attraction of a decent restaurant) and she's worried she may have to share with strangers (even though I've told her we could book the whole compartment).

I love making them too :)

Yeah that's definitely a consideration 😆
@horsehollerer You're definitely the smarter one, in my opinion.
Great video so glad your back to releasing videos every Friday again
I just had to catch up, now we're good again!
Great video.
Thanks!
Your voice makes your highly enjoyable and informative videos even better!
Wow, thanks Norman!

Wow, that route is so beautiful!
It really is!
Thank you my friend your videos never disappoint
Glad you like them Robert ☺️
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Wonderful train ride video of Zurich to Zagreb🌷🌷
Many thanks!
Ótimo vídeo boa viagem de trem 3:38
Great trip. Definitely great scenery, even though when passing alps on the dark.
Agreed!

Eeeeek 😂😂😂
Gold Coast you mean...

Thanks for watching 😁😁😁

Sounds great!
Z to z top notch video
Thank you 😊🙏🏻
Wonderful. Greetings from Canada.
Hello 👋🏻🤗

Availability seems to be pretty good at the moment!
I spent quite a good night in the same Croatian sleeper from Zagreb to Split in 2019. I wish such sleepers operated between Budapest and Split.
Well, they do. There is ADRIA night train operated by MAV during summer.
If the train is no a 40 year old “retro” experience, that’s great news!
I wish they ran all year round:)
this is nice trip!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻

I'm 6'1 and it was fine, with space left at each end

I’m not sure the tap looked new enough to be touch sensitive, are you sure there wasn’t a foot pedal, I missed one like that recently.
I did look 😆
Very beautiful❤❤

I've never had an issue but I'll take my valuables money passport laptop in my backpack when away from the room
I absolutely loved Switzerland. When I was there. I bought the Swiss rail pass.

A good point ☝🏻
Looks a decent carriage and a really beautiful journey. I'll never understand how people get a decent night's sleep on sleeper trains though
My body is just used to it. I've done so many 😆

This is pretty much the perfectly times night train for me!
When are you coming to Bosnia
Hopefully next year!

Why is Switzerland so expensive?
Rich people 😎

Actually I think we're going to France next year to use the Occitane Pass & finally ride Le Petit Train Jaune..
Why doesn't she like sleeper trains Mark?

@@markellis6413 excuses excuses 😆
300€ is a steep steep price
Not for 3 sharing
How biased your reviews are. If water doesn't come in Indian train toilets, you definitely make it a point while summarising 😮
I had a sink in my room :)
Bro next journey in india please
Very soon!
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
